Over the centuries, the property developed and expanded while preserving its architectural identity and authenticity.

The residence was transformed into a site of collection and study, giving the estate an intellectual and scientific dimension still perceptible today.

The manor and château include notably: • eleven bedrooms • reception salons • a dining room • a kitchen • bathrooms and shower rooms • service and storage areas • a wellness area with sauna A UNIQUE SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL HERITAGE The estate preserves a rare intellectual heritage, directly linked to its scientific past.
